Misery Index · Despair
Cardinals fans declaring the rebuild dead on arrival after blowing a winnable one to the league's worst team.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 21-19 lead with two minutes left, and somehow J.Slye trots out for a 29-yard chip shot at the buzzer to end it. The C.Ward dagger to C.Ridley for 38 set it up, but the autopsy starts earlier — at the D.Taylor-Demerson interception at the ARI 5 that should have been the closing argument. K.Murray's 44-yard strike to M.Harrison feels like it happened in a different season. The rebuild questions aren't rhetorical anymore.
What fans said
“Monti, Gannon and Petzing have all failed. The rebuild has failed.”
